HR Recruiting Firm

The Perillo Group is an HR recruiting firm, which makes this our home turf twice over: we hire the people who do the hiring. We run direct hire searches for human resources roles for companies across the country, for organizations large enough to need real HR and smart enough to know that a weak HR hire costs more than any other seat in the building. The HR leader you hire shapes every hire after them. That search deserves the same rigor you would want them to bring to yours.

HR Roles We Fill

We recruit for companies across professional services, healthcare, manufacturing, distribution, and the other industries we serve, as well as HR roles inside law and accounting firms.

How an HR Search With Us Works

HR searches fail when the brief is a certification list. The PHR after a name does not tell you whether someone can walk into a hard conversation with a plant manager or rebuild an onboarding process that is losing new hires in week two. We run it the other way.

  1. The brief comes first. Where the company actually is: headcount, growth plans, the problems this hire inherits on day one, and who they report to.
  2. A short list, not a long one. A small number of HR professionals whose experience matches your stage and culture, with an honest read on each.
  3. Feedback in days, not weeks. Strong HR candidates are courted by every growing company in the region. A process that moves keeps them in it.
  4. An offer that lands. We test compensation against the current market in week one, including the premium experienced HR leaders command right now.

Terms That Remove the Risk

Every search we run is direct hire. There are no upfront fees, and every placement carries a 90 day replacement guarantee. If the person does not work out in the first 90 days, we run the search again.

National Reach

We are based in the Philadelphia area and recruit HR professionals nationwide. HR is a network driven specialty: the best HR leaders know each other, know which companies treat people well, and take calls from recruiters who understand the work.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to use an HR recruiting firm?

Nothing upfront. We work on a direct hire basis: you pay a fee only when your hire starts, agreed in writing before the search begins. If we do not fill the role, you do not pay for the search.

What size company do you recruit HR roles for?

Companies large enough to need real HR, from a first dedicated HR hire through HR managers, directors, and talent acquisition staff. If you are not sure what level you need, we will help you define the role before the search starts.

How fast can you fill an HR role?

Most clients see their first qualified candidates within days of the brief. HR is a network driven specialty, and a discreet search reaches strong HR leaders who are not applying to postings.

What if the hire does not work out?

Every placement carries a 90 day replacement guarantee. If the hire leaves or is let go within the first 90 days, we run the replacement search at no additional fee.

Do you recruit outside your home area?

Yes. We are based in the Philadelphia area and recruit HR professionals nationwide.

I work in HR and I am considering a move. Does it cost me anything?

No. Candidates never pay; the hiring company pays our fee, and every conversation is confidential.
